Alright already!

So, now even my wife is nagging me to blog something.... (If that is the height of the spousal nags, I must be doing ok...)

So, why has there been a three week lag between posts? Is my life that uninteresting? Has my life been that uneventful? Have I given up on thinking altogether? The answer most assuredly is no (except for a small yes on that last one).

Last week I completed my masters degree. Quite easily the greatest feat of my life as far as any determination and perseverance goes. I started in February and completed a total of 48 quarter hours - all the while holding down a full-time job (this teacher only got 2 weeks "off" over the summer -for the birth of my son, Alex), expanding my family (see the previous comment about Alex), and having a significant job change (from being a programming teacher and assistant tech to being the technology coordinator for the whole school). The transition to the new job was done in three weeks (while trying to hire a replacement for my previous position). And did I mention that the entire degree was online - including group projects? About all that could have added more stress is moving and/or getting married.

I am now done! And so the concept of writing - for a blog or otherwise - didn't seem exceedingly appealing. I am also trying to figure out graduation day - also an online event - and since I am a first generation Masters graduate, my families are talking about a graduation party.... (I will blog more on graduation as I figure things out.)

I will be filling my time for the next months getting to know the aforementioned son. And I will be team teaching a class this spring semester.
